The Enquirer is not slow to detect the
trouble in the Ohio League and hits the
nail on the head AZ follows: Betting is
carried OH in a bare-faced and shameful
manner at some of the games in the Ohio
League cities. Stop it, gentlemen! Gamb
ling, gamblers and honest base ball do not
20 together"
A telegram from Wellsville, o., says
Martin Drabble, the young man who had
both legs cut off here Sunday night, died
this morning. Drabble was one of the
best amateur base ball catchers in these
parts, and was TO have been married soor
to young lady Of this place.
The item in yesterdays base ball notes
stating that none Of the Panhandle clul
except GOudy aud Trainer would play
in the championship game with the Nor
gantown club is untrue. Mr.. Trainer, the
manager, and Mr.. Goudy both say that
ali the balance of the club. with possibly
one exception, will play. The item referred
to was written outside the office.
We have no patience with the cry
Keep the pennant in Ohio at all haz.
Yards" If Wheeling or Kalamazoo car
win it they are rs welcome to it from q
Saniusky standpoint as any other clubs
in the league would he. We want the
pennant in Sandusky, bri if we can't
win it honestly, we care not who gets it.

with the best cities already represented
would make very strong organization

to the base ball public Of. this city and
general expressions of dissatisfaction are
heard on every side. Jack was always on
hand when wanted and has few equals a,

have shown a desire, however, Of late 10
keep him in the background, and Rafferty,
not fancying o back seat has secured his
release. He will not be idle long

That base ball is the national sport there
